It’s quite appropriated to watch a play concerning a hidden history of the first gay rights organization before Stonewall on the Pride weekend. Finding out about the Temperamentals is a result of Twitter – I was following the adorable and hilarious Michael Urie of Ugly Betty fame. He tweeted about the play a lot, since he’s in it! And he’s also so nice to his fans that he tweeted discount code for the tickets as well. After reading about what the play is about, I figure, why …

As the third book of the Percy Jackson series, the Titan’s Curse kick it up a notch, the story becomes more epic. And as like most of the Greek tales of Heroes, tragedy is right around the corner, we can feel it. There are already deaths in this book and I imagine more will come in the next two. When there’s a war, casualties are unavoidable.
While the first two books slowly reveal glimpses of the many legendary gods and monsters of the Greek mythology. This one …

There is just something about Sandra Bullock that makes her so likable! She isn’t the prettiest compare to other Rom-Com actresses, but there is just a certain quirky quality to her that is just so adorable. She hasn’t done a Rom-Com for a while now, the previous one I can remember was Two Weeks Notice with Hugh Grant, and this time around he got match up with the really funny and yet hot as hell Ryan Reynolds, plus the added bonus of the national treasure Betty White, the …

The biggest feature about the iPhone 3G S is performance.  Everything seems to come up instantly in comparison to my first-gen iPhone.  3G network performance though, various from street to street.  In some places it doesn’t feel any bit better than the EDGE on my old iPhone.  In most cases it’s better, the location apps pick up info and load much faster, so is the map.  Games loaded way better in terms of performance, especially the 3D and driving ones.
Real feature-wise, spotlight search and copy-cut-paste are welcoming additions to the …

Now how can I have a new gadget and not have unboxing pictures? Even though technically it was already open in the Apple Store during the activation process, but my awesome personal shopper was extremely careful and handle everything in the box as little as possible, so it’s in mint condition even for the machine itself since the cover plastic is still on the screen.

Here are the unboxing pictures, notice the last one is taken by the iPhone 3GS at my old first-gen iPhone…

I did not plan to buy the new iPhone 3GS on launch day.  I know I will buy it at some point, but my plan was never the first day.  Cos even if I am a super fanboy, I ain’t gonna be waiting in line in the rain 7 am in the morning!  But as it turns out, even though I didn’t wait in line in the morning, I did however, wait in line for it at late night!!
The turning point was when my friend show me his brand new …

Away We Go feels like Garden State on a road trip. It has the same trying to grow up, figuring out yourself, finding out where you belong emotional journey along with some very strange characters. Except this time instead of traveling within New Jersey, you are traveling across the entire North America with the couple Burt and Verona.
With an SNL alum who are used to all kind of outrageous characters as the lead, you would think Maya Rudolph would carries all the jokes in the movie. To …

I love sea food, so when I heard about this cleverly named restaurant Flex Mussels, which as the name implied, specialize in mussels, I have to go and try it out.  Hidden on a residential block of UES.  Flex Mussels seems bigger on the inside because the storefront is deep.  Decorated with lots of ocean and sea theme paintings, the place has a comfortable feel about it without being too formal.
Now mussels no matter how you put it is not gonna photograph well, especially it’s in a pot.  But the …

When I first saw the picture of Ernesto Neto’s anthropodino art installation, I thought it’s futuristic and beautiful.  But I didn’t have a chance to see it for myself until now.  Maybe it’s the end of the exhibit and then too many people have been tampering it, it just doesn’t look as good up close and personal!  The scale of this thing is still huge,, but maybe because the color was more subtle than I thought, it just mostly appeared as a giant white drip cloth than anything else.  Plus …
